Illegalizing alcohol - would you be in favour of such a move

ilovesleep

They say alcohol in moderation is good for you - like a glass of red wine a day. Problem here in this country is that many people do not know how to drink sensibly. Many would go out at weekends and binge drink. Some people who go out and do know how to drink sensibly may end up being intoxicated without wishing to due to other factors such as tiredness, hunger, stress, menstruation which leads to alcohol being absorbed into the bloodstream quicker.

The effects of alcohol in these cases could cause such things as:
- alcohol poisoning
- assaults, and rape
- more prone to sillyiness which could result in harm of oneself.
- more vulnerable to peer pressure - could lead to taking hardcore drugs more easily such as ecstasy, cocaine
- unprotected sex
- unwanted pregnancies
- sexually transmitted diseases
- A+E overloads
- drunk driving, which could lead to death of oneself and others

Alcohol is addictive and some may become alcoholics which would result in other problems.

It would only lead to bootlegging and unneccessarily elaborate bowling ball liquor-filled shenanigans.

Can we negotiate? Ban alcohol but legalize cannabis.

pigeonbutler

It worked really well in the USA i suppose..

oh wait.... :rolleyes:

Oh and also. "Illegalizing" isn't a word. Try prohibit, ban, outlaw, forbid.

Lets just ban sex instead, that will solve all your problems.

SafeSurfer

No.

Oh_Noes

Prohibition doesn't work. If alcohol were banned, it would flood the black market, kids would probably be able to get it a lot easier than they do now and people would be arrested and imprisoned for simply wanting to intoxicate themselves which is something our species (and other species) has been doing for thousands of years.

I'd raise the legal age to 21 and educate young people on responsible drinking.

Solnskaya

Yes, ban it now. I fancy a Career change, and "bootlegger" has a certain ring to it.

The missus reckons I'd be a dab hand, she says I've had years of experience smuggling noxious liquids, if the bathroom floor is anything to go by.

CrazyRabbit

No. I'd prefer if people chose not to drink it.

theavenger

Hell yeah, then we can do bachelors walk empire.

Is Steve Buscemi free?:D

I binge drink on occasions, I have done none of the above. Banning idiots might be a better idea though.

Banning alocohol ?
Now that would be funny.

Never going to happen here and if it did we might as well led the criminal gangs run the country.

Do it - then i can become a Beer Baron and get to wear a hat...

CokaColumbo

No and I would end the war on all drugs. The negative effects of alcohol prohibition apply to the prohibition of all other drugs.

What a load of ****e.

Why not wrap us up in cotton wool while you're at it.
